I remember going to Sweet 16 parties at Senor Pico. <br />The family didn't go there on a regular basis, however. We frequented El Coyote and El Carmen.

Probably seemed like a good idea at the time. <br /><br />My parents were inordinately fond of Senor Pico, if only as an upscale change from the El Coyote meals we were subjected to almost every week.j goldnoreply@blogger.com
